Over a period of nearly 75 years members of the Lake family have been taking pictures, some 70,000 or more. No matter the format - prints, slides, or digital - or the subject matter, they were all lovingly converted to digital. The vast majority of those pictures were of people - family and friends - or scenery snapped while traveling. But a few were somehow different. Those images were unusual, or odd, or somehow noteworthy, but each with a story, or a comment, to go along with it. In these pages are those images and their stories.
Boy meets girl, aaah, love at first sight But what happens when a real flesh and blood girl steps in between the boy and his first car? Any of a million different things can happen, but what actually happens depends on the car, and the times. Orofino Wheels tells the stories of five different couples and their cars, each story set in a different time- the Roaring Twenties, the Depression Thirties, the Postwar Forties, the Rock-and-Roll fifties, and the Vietnam Sixties - and each with a car of the times. The cars evolve, the times change, but true love is timeless.
